Tarantulas belong to the arachnid (spider) family. Five species of tarantulas call Colorado home found in the southern part of the state particularly around La Junta. By better understanding spiders, we can appreciate the balance they maintain for ecosystems and the benefits they provide for human medicine and scientific research. Conservation starts small.

Since 2000 CDOT has made effective use of Safety Performance Functions (SPF), Level of Service of Safety (LOSS) concept and diagnostic norms to prioritize, plan and scope safety improvements on all projects. A recent trend in road safety research, however, is to develop SPFs for each crash type. This approach is significantly more costly and labor intensive than the one used by CDOT, the benefits of this approach, however, were not well understood. It was not known if having crash type-specific SPFs will improve effectiveness of safety management, or if it will simply make the process more labor-intensive and less accessible to practicing engineers and planners. The intent of this project is to compare the effectiveness of network screening and diagnostic methods using aggregate SPFs and Test of Proportions with crash type SPFs.
This Public Advisory was issued to advise Coloradans about false or unproven products deceptively marketed and sold as COVID-19 vaccines, which threaten to undermine confidence in the officially approved vaccines. The U.S. FDA has approved vaccines, which it has determined to be safe and effective. The manufacture and distribution of vaccines will take time over the next year, meaning that many Coloradans will await vaccination according to Colorado's prioritization system. During this time of limited access to approved vaccines, some companies and persons are attempting to sell unproven effective against COVID-19. This Advisory provides guidance to the public on avoiding such scams when seeking an approved vaccine.
We analyze 20 years of venture-capital funded startups, founded between 1992 and 2011, in the Front Range around Denver, Colorado, and in the Bay Area around San Francisco, California, including Silicon Valley. While Silicon Valley is the classic model for entrepreneurial ecosystems, the Denver Front Range may in fact be more representative of most regional economies. The Bay Area gave rise to 6,938 VC-funded startups in our data over those 20 years, while Colorado gave rise to just 629; however, the two regions' startups exhibited a very similar distribution across industries and almost identical rates of failure and success as well as types of exits.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented drop in traditional in-person care and a rapid expansion of care delivered remotely via telemedicine. This brief uses a unique, Colorado-specific source of clinical data to analyze the shift toward telemedicine, which Coloradans were able to access care through telemedicine, for what types of care, and the implications of these findings for the future of telemedicine in Colorado.
This issue brief provides an overview of the financial assistance available to families needing child care, briefly describes the licensing of child care centers, and explains where to find child care quality ratings.
